FINAL CRISIS #5
Humanity enslaved! Time shattered and bleeding! Anti-Life triumphant! Can Earth's demoralized, beaten heroes rally their scattered forces for the ultimate super-battle against the nightmare armies of Apokolips when the forces of good meet the forces of evil on the bridge to Blüdhaven? As Darkseid's presence causes reality itself to sicken and the lights to go out across the universe, as even the Guardians fall, the true power of the evil gods finally reveals itself, and a major character returns for a shocking conclusion.
Does the secret of humankind’s salvation lie in a mysterious cave painting and a bolt of lightning? Or has the Last Day come for us all?
So far this has been readable. A little more big-picture than I tend to like in a comic book.
FINAL CRISIS: RAGE OF THE RED LANTERNS #1
The prelude to “The Blackest Night” begins here!
They come from a place of great anger and hatred. They are the Red Lanterns and they will have their revenge against the greatest Green Lantern - Sinestro. That is, unless the Guardians have theirs first.
On the whole, the Final Crisis tie-ins aren't making me buy them. This one, I'm getting.
SECRET SIX #2
One of the most-requested and anticipated confrontations in recent DC history takes place right here: Catman vs. Batman! The Six's latest mission takes the team to Alcatraz to free a Super-Villain, but what is the secret she carries that hundreds of villains would give their lives to possess? DC's dirtiest team only gets dirtier, and we wouldn't want it any other way!
Of course. :)
TITANS #6
Raven is missing, and the Titans must truly come together as a team in order to save her. Their fragile unity is further threatened, though, when they discover what they're really up against! And, as if the Titans didn't have enough on their hands, an old member resurfaces and brings along an unexpected threat that no one could’ve seen coming!
Still planning on keeping this one on the list.
BATMAN #681
This is it – “Batman R.I.P.” concludes here! The final, heartrending confrontation between Bruce Wayne and Jezebel Jet. The final fate of The Dark Knight. And the horrifying and shocking truth behind the Black Glove. With The Joker, the Club of Villains, Robin, Damian, plus an ending you’ll never see coming – this one has it all!
I'm guessing I'm dropping this one after this arc (since I only picked it up for this arc), but we'll see.
DETECTIVE COMICS #849
A “Batman R.I.P.” tie-in! In this penultimate chapter of the
5-part arc “Heart of Hush,” Batman tears his way through Gotham City’s underworld to reach his dangerous adversary. But after the Dark Knight learns what his childhood friend-turned-villain is really after, will Batman be able to survive what Hush plans next? The lives of both Bruce Wayne and Tommy Elliot come full circle in this story of beginnings and brutal endings!
More Batman. Buying because of the Hush story.
BATGIRL #4
Batgirl and company take on the deadly Daughters of David Cain and one of the toughest villains in the DCU – both at the same time! Plus: The identity of David Cain's target is revealed! If you thought life was getting easier for Cassandra, you were wrong!
This one will depend on the kids--if they like it, we'll keep getting it.
BIRDS OF PREY #123
The Joker crosses Oracle's doorstep as he muscles in on the
high-tech gangs running the new city the Birds of Prey operate out of. But will Oracle be able to control herself when facing the maniac who crippled her?
I'm still good with this one.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #29
The lead-in to “Blackest Night” begins with “The Sins of the Star Sapphire.” Catch a glimpse into the beginning of the latest Corps being formed and what it will mean to the Green Lanterns. Plus, Ice proposes to Guy Gardner!
So far this looks like the DC offering I'm most looking forward for this month.
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #20
It's the Justice Society of America vs. the Justice Society Infinity of Earth-2 with the fate of Power Girl at the center of it all! Meanwhile, Starman struggles with his returned sanity as he embarks on his true mission in our time period – one that will have vital consequences for the Crisis of the 31st century!
So far I haven't seen much I haven't liked in this title, and a focus on Power Girl is just a bonus.
WONDER WOMAN #25
Who wouldn’t want to see their name in lights? Wonder Woman, that’s who, and she’s now hell bent on putting a stop to the Wonder Woman movie. At least she is until she realizes the impact she has on young women and girls, and must decide what’s more important to her – her sanity or her conscience?
Plus, Wonder Womans’ courtship of Nemesis takes a daring turn as the series hits issue
A daring turn, hm? I can guess what we're supposed to expect. But I can also guess we won't be seeing what we'd expect.
